SOLUTION: Graph the equation and identify the y-intercept 5y+2x=5

Question 268394: Graph the equation and identify the y-intercept 5y+2x=5

Answer by math-Tutor-Online(2) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
General equation of a line is given by y=mx+c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept (the y co-ordinate when x is zero).
When m>0, it indicates that value of y increases as x is increased.
when m<0, it indicates that value of y decreases as x is increased.
when m=0, it means y is constant (line is parallel to x axis).

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .

X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 5/5 = 1.
Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 5/2 = 2.5.
Slope is -5/2 = -2.5.
Equation in slope-intercept form: y=-2.5*x+2.5.
